i like the family connection but you really need a strong network to buy out of state.

The fact that your property is in a strong area with high-quality renters and growth potential is a major advantage.First, revisit your numbers to include all expenses and potential tax benefits, like depreciation and mortgage interest deductions.

For example, areas like Chicago have a strong demand for furnsihed rentals, especially in neighborhoods near medical centers.

All the markets you mentioned are solid choices for affordability and long-term growth potential.If you’re looking to narrow it down, consider Indianapolis or Columbia, SC, as both have strong rental demand, landlord-friendly laws, and stable economies.

Let’s end the year strong together!

I think the most important thing would be to have a strong contract in place and to have done thorough due diligence on the front end prior to signing up a contractor.

Taste and style changes more frequently in these areas, so they feel dated faster.  

The current market definitely has some great opportunities for strong ROI and equity growth.

I’m not looking to be an active/public realtor, just need a place to hold my license.For context, I currently hold an active HI real estate license in good standing and have strong networks on both Molokai and Maui.

In the long run, Roth-style retirement accounts beat the Traditional retirement accounts.
